Meet husband and wife Brian and Stephanie Biggers, who run a garage door repair/install company together.
Owner Brian Biggers was working for another company when he decided he was ready to branch out on his own after seeing people get ripped off by other door companies. He and his wife Stephanie started out grassroots style by walking around Walmart, YMCA, and different parking lots handing out flyers.
"The goal was and still is to provide quality, professional work, at a price that anyone can afford," says Stephanie.
When Brian worked for other companies, he was driving hours away and would sometimes be gone all day, which kept him away from his three kids, Brianna, Brice, and Ben.
"By being your own boss, you can make your own hours and make sure you’re around for your children’s sporting events, dance recitals, and just life in general," says Stephanie.
Brian sells, installs and repairs the doors by himself while Stephanie handles advertising and scheduling. "A lot of customers appreciate the fact that it’s the owner coming out and talking to them and doing the work for them."
The company doesn't charge a service fee, and they assess problems for free first and then let their clients decide if they'd like to pay for repairs/installation.
